Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?
"In 1990, an executive order was signed by the president that banned offshore drilling. The president is not part of the legislative branch, is he?
Drilling is not the solution. Long-term energy policy is; "
President lifted the drilling ban, but it has no meaning because of the Congressional ban. It did however wake up the oil suppliers of the world because gas prices immediately started going down after the ban lift. Apparently they are afraid of us drilling for oil here- so I'm for it.
Drilling is a very important part of what our energy policy should be.
Conserve, drill in the US, Nuclear power, Coal and alternative energy. I didn't fill my truck up with alternative energy today- it uses gas like everyone elses vehicle. Windmills, solar panels and french fry grease are great unless you want to get to work tomorrow.
